the history of the world. This is just one specific example of corruption and 'fuck you i got mine' mentality.

Tacoma

zoning and business laws prevent market based solutions, so we don't know that there aren't market fixes. The retail space prices are so absurd because there was only a limited part of the city where you can do retail. Go to 'third world countries' and there are plenty of groceries in neighborhoods as well as street vendors that are illegal in the US.

no, haircut is now a phrase that doesn't only apply to hair due to the flexibility of human language =)

You are right, but kind of proving their point by not engaging with the content and dismissing it. As a women you can sit back passively and pass on people, while the men have to put in the effort and come to you.

Edit: The question was added to their comment after I clicked reply.

>>> without the staff level title or pay.

I've been watching this Adult Swim sketch for years and every time I notice another thing that they predicted getting problematic. AI, crypto, ad-bots, captcha, higher-ed, etc. Stuff that wasn't on peoples' radar when the sketch came out.

I think it is a great cultural artifact that really predicted a lot of the past 10 years and is really funny. It's not new, but I haven't seen it discussed on HN and it is very relevant.

My guess is that they meant: If you give a lot of people that previously couldn't afford a house more money it will increase the demand and prices. The issue is that there is a shortage of housing which is primarily due to zoning preventing the construction of houses in a lot of areas.

That service is called unemployment, but unfortunately the state unemployment agency defers to the company for the reason of termination rather than what you say. So if they say you quit voluntarily rather than because they violated their promises or OSHA rules, you don't get anything.

Promises companies failed to keep:

- Decent working environment. I was moved into a single person office with another person that was so cramped I had to move if they needed to use the bathroom and ended up begging to be moved into the open office plan (which was so distracting but less humiliating.)

- Performance based bonuses/promotions

- Not working on weekends/holidays.

- Company Transit (a spot wasn't guaranteed or reservable so it wasn't reliable)

- 40 hour work week. Expected that I will go over 40 hours sometimes but under was taboo. And of course the 2 hours of commuting doesn't count.

- Plenty of other passive aggressive stuff by management during meetings

So I don't think people should feel that bad about negotiating the work environment on their terms. If companies don't follow the rules, why should people always be expected to fulfill your requirements that are something they never wanted.

I've received relocation assistance and signing bonuses where it was stated I would need to return if I left within a certain time (a year I think)

Why not do it then rather than shaming others for not doing it?

This isn't a device, but there is a mail-in service for that: https://1dollarscan.com/

I think it's just a way to generate sympathy and outrage. Maybe to try to encourage tough on crime policies that might get more police in the area. I don't think there is a reason to believe at face value it without evidence.

It's not confirmation bias for the men, it's more for the researchers: Selecting data on who contests custody as a proxy for who wants custody. If there is a gender bias in the courts, that might not be accurate.

I'm #1!

And just like all of the current 'independent review' bodies for police, they will be run by the police department.

I was thinking about having it done. The doctor who was going to do it said that some people have pain afterwards. I asked him and he couldn't give me any stats or details on how many people or how long it lasts, etc. That made me think twice and after looking up people's stories online I decided not to do it. It seems surprisingly little studied. If it was temporary, I could deal with it, but a small yet significant chance of constant pain isn't worth it.

I think they mean that it is bad, but minor compared to what would have happened in the US or some other countries, where train projects are delayed 10 years without design problems.

Hyundai and Kia cheaped out by not including a couple dollar part that makes it harder to hotwire. Apparently kids can hotwire them with a USB cable because they don't have the immobilizer. It affects several years worth of Kia and Hyundai models.

Cool, thanks for detailing that. I didn't know you could do that.

Can you give an example of something that was resolved for you by this?

I can send a letter if it will do something but I can't convince 10% of the population to send a letter.

I've sent messages to government offices and never got anything but a canned response and no action.

I understand you mean well, but does this really create a larger burden for the company or change anything in the future? I've never had a letter result in anything.

> I was so confident in the vaccines

This was before the first (two-dose) vaccine.

> I was scared to get the booster

This was after the first vax (two shots) and adverse reaction.

The way to look at it is that the person with majority ownership writes the rules unless there is regulation around it. The VC's own more of the company, are issuing new shares. As an employee, you won't be in that situation. VC's are more protected because of their ownership and decision making power (in the sense of controlling most of the shares and board and ceo), not just because they have some shares.

You can say any city has widespread crime. There will be crime happening throughout the city on some level.

Why should you have to give your extra money to people in specific professions rather than give it to a family in Guatemala where it will go further?

Do you tip everyone you interact with? How do you know who to tip? That sounds exhausting.

It seems pretty relevant here. Both prisons and the police are part of the government monopoly on violence.

The website stayed up and there wasn't any big short term existential political problems.

(Not speculating on whether it's wise, just that it's feasible in the short term.)

Town Hall type meetings only take curated questions normally and heavily gatekeep who is allowed to speak.
